leaf is boiled in alcohol kept in water bath to

a. extract starch

b. dissolve chlorophyll >>>>>>>>>>>

c. allow water to move into the leaf

d. make membrane of leaf cells more permeable

10. A black strip of paper was clipped on to a destarched leaf to cover a part of

b. to activate the chloroplasts in leaves

c. to destarch the leaves >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

d. to denature the enzyme in the leaves
